Best thoughts for good outcomes all the way around!

I had a houseguest last night, and didn't sleep well, mostly because we went out to dinner and I drank too much water, so I had to pee! But didn't wake up all the way to actually get it over with. I hate when I do that.

Some ~ma for my neighbor's family: she's from St. Thomas, and while her parents evacuated, much of the rest of her family did not. Her Uncle is missing and there's really no way and no one to look for him, yet. They also say much of St John is destroyed.

So much of the news is about the British Virgin Islands, and not the U.S.!

So much ~ma for your friends and all in the islands. Pictures from there are just awful. They say they are used to it, but you never get used to that kind of destruction. I think St. Thomas did better than St. John.

I am completely distracted by this hurricane. Ugh, at least most of my customers will be closed by mid-day today. Shutting down servers and unplugging everything that has a cord. For many it is BTDT on power surges.

Kids have to work today and are talking about maybe going to stay with a cousin in Alabama, or staying. Hope they don't stay. I'm even good with DH going to Alabama rather than here because closer, but I don't want to have them out of touch as the big bad rolls by.

My state's hideous selection for governor actually is sounding competent in his news conferences. Still hate him, but credit where credit is due.

My sister works at a women's shelter in Miami, and is expected to work during the hurricane. I'm really hoping the entire county is evacuated so she can leave without abandoning her residents.

All of the -ma for anyone with loved ones that will be affected.

In much better news, a coworker got married over the weekend, and she just sent out the nicest assortment of ~10 photos. I love it! I love not having to ask her to see them, I love not having to look at them with her providing commentary, I love seeing them! So I wouldn't have thought of it, but that is my new recommendation -- proactively sending out wedding pictures. Who knew?

Lol, jesse. I hadn't thought of it that way but sure! Usually I'm more about baby photos though.

Jess that's kind of awful!! I hope she stays safe.

Meanwhile I have a huge client deadline a week from Monday and was all proud we should probably make it...but now we likely won't. Partly because the client is not cooperating with reviewing stuff on time, and partly because it involves someone flying to South Carolina on Monday/Tuesday. Which seems unlikely now.

Note to self: next time co-worker greets me with "have you ever read something so horrible that you just had to share it with someone" just turn around and leave. Don't put your stuff down, don't engage in any way.

Ooops, good advice, up there with don't read the comments.
